User Experience & Usability

Books, theories and practices in User Experience & Usability

Put simply, usability means designing a user interface that is effective, efficient, and satisfying.

Important elements of web site usability are:

Can visitors use the web site effectively the first time they visit it without becoming frustrated?

Will visitors remember how to use the web site the next time?

Can visitors easily navigate through the web site, determine what to do next, and understand the content? Is the design consistent and predictable?

Can visitors find what they need and accomplish their goal in a reasonable amount of time?

Do visitors have a good feeling about using the web site? Will they use it again? Is the content presented effectively?
